Iceland Express ad campaign

Miðstræti, a studio from Iceland, created a new series of commercials for Iceland Express — an airline company they've been working since 2011 or so. Here's one of them.

You can watch a dozen of other videos from this ad campaign (mostly from 2011) rolled into one on Vimeo. And if you are really curious, there's a podcast with the studio's animator, Hjalti Hjálmarsson, on Process Diary.

Personal Financial Manager commercial

Juan Carlos Montes of MoxStudios created this commercial on Personal Financial Manager for Banco Popular. All the modeling, animation and rendering was done with Blender.

Original rendering was created with Blender Internal. The one above is a later version rendered with Cycles.

Frutmotive soda commercial

Earlier this year ARt DDs created a new commercial for “Frutmotive”, a Russian soda drink. They still use Adobe After Effects for compositing. However in a personal conversation Alexander Zubkov revealed that the team is currently testing Blender for compositing in another project. He says, basically, it’s all down to having a well tested workflow.

Goldfish Man ad

The “Goldfish Man” commercial was created by Richard Lyons for a chain of electronics stores in Sweden.

All modelling, rigging animation was done in Blender. Rendering was made with Blender Internal. You can read more details on Blendernation.

Webase.it commercial

This commercial played on the client's website was created entirely with Blender: both CGI, compositing and post production. The work was done by Fab design team.

IBS Study Tour 2012 ad

Guillermo Espertino created a commercial for IBS, a Spanish candy factory, together with Juan Pablo Bouza, David Teres, Michael Berhanu and Adriano Oliveira.

Guillermo's style is quite distinctive: he relies on animation of bitmap and vector graphics created with GIMP and Inkscape, and uses a similar vivid color palette throughout most commercials he makes.

Hey! Thanks for the mention!
It’s an honor to have one of my ads among these amazing works.
Regarding the color palette, it’s mostly coincidental. The original identity and cliparts for the IBS commercial were created by the company’s designer and handed to me, and the palette turned out to be quite similar than the one used by the other two clients we made ads for.
So if they look all the same isn’t our fault. At least not entirely :-p

All of them are great! Realy Pro grade works! Congratulation! But the one is not in the list. I dont remember the name. It is an ad made to Italian TV. It shows a pop up book style video remembering parents that some tv content is not good for children. You can foul people telling it was made with big software houses software costing thousands dollars. But it was made with Belender.

I’d also add Got Milkhttp://vimeo.com/49303977
by Eugenio Pignataro, Nahuel Belich, Julieta Boechi and others.
The modelling and rendering was done entirely in Blender (cycles). The compositing was done in Nuke and the animation was done in XSI. A cool mixed-pipe work, and Blender proved to be able in that context.

@Gez, Extending the list to 10 wasn’t the point :) Some awesome commercials are simply ungooglable. You’ve got to know the studio and that they use Blender. That said, it looks like I can now make it a 10.

That’s some awesome collection of damn hard work done by the creators of these ads. By the way I am an animator myself and I can see how much time and skills they would be invested to create something like this.
